Nutella Banana Bread. There's no question that bananas and Nutella belong together. While the two are great companions on toast (or even by themselves), there's something extra special about Nutella being swirled into a loaf of banana bread in our Nutella Banana Bread Recipe. As the loaf bakes, the Nutella expands slightly but stays distinct from the banana batter—creating a beautiful marbled effect.
This banana bread definitely leans toward dessert, thanks to thick swirls of chocolate-hazelnut spread. Browning the butter may seem a little fussy, but it's totally worth the time and effort. The resulting toasty warm flavor pairs perfectly with sweet bananas and the rich spread. You can cook Nutella Banana Bread using 7 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Nutella Banana Bread step by step
- Preheat oven to 350°F;.
- Mash bananas in a bowl. Optionally, I like to add a little reduced sugar and water to sweeten the bananas when they're not too ripe;.
- Mix in softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs and mix until everything is combined;.
- Add in flour and mix until everything's combined. You should have a lumpy, doughy batter;.
- Add Nutella and swirl until combined. You can either fully combine it or try to give it a slightly marbled effect;.
- Pour mixture into a buttered baking dish (lather the whole pan to prevent sticking), ideally one that's long and tall (9x5), give it a few taps on a hard surface to let the air out and make it uniform then put it in the oven;.
- Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes. Check by sticking a knife or skewer from top to bottom. If it comes out clean, it's ready. Note that it may not be completely clean because it's very moist. I wouldn't suggest leaving it longer than 55 minutes or it'll burn the perimiter;.
- Let the bread cool on the counter before serving. Tastes great warm or cold..
Swirl batters together with a knife. In a large bowl, melt the butter and let cool slightly. Whisk in the sugar then the eggs and vanilla.

Tips For Nutella Banana Bread: Use very ripe, brown-speckled bananas.
